In '79, I visited the

People's Republic of China and India!

They served us snake.

Did you eat it?

Sure! We couldn't offend them!

But I pretended.

- Would you like some?

- Trout!

You have trout here?

We have a trout farm in the village.

Did you know trout's the

easiest fish to digest?

Indeed, fish is the healthiest meat.

It contains iron.

Look! These red dots.

Where?

There!

- I don't have my glasses.

- They're iron deposits.

Wow! I had no idea!

Go tell the farm

to prepare a load of trout.

No.

- Yes, it's a pleasure.

- Another drink?

OK, but this time, everybody drinks!

Just a drop for me!

Cheers!

Here's to tomorrow's visit!

Where's the toilet?

Over there.

We've got the goats.

They called to say...

- Sheep!

- Yes, sheep...

They're on their way.

Well done!

See? No problem.

It's not over until they've

passed through tomorrow!

Our Comrade Mayor

is very pessimistic.

Comrade Sandy is a nice fellow.

I heard he was tougher.

That's his way.

He works hard and plays hard.

He loves music, parties,

fiddlers, traditional music...

He's from the country too.

Gheorghita, you have musicians?

- Gogu.

- Yes, sir!

- Florica!

- What?

Drop everything and come with me!

Come and sing for Comrade Mayor.

- I bring my cembalo?

- Yes!

Hurry!

- Another drink?

- No!

I have to work tomorrow

and we should go now.

Just a drop.

Everybody!

- Not for me.

- Comrade Mayor, I said everybody!

Cheers!

Hey, come here!

You know the song Tudorita?

The one that goes...

That's it!

Come and sit here

so I can hear you better.

Quiet!

Yes, sir!

It's for you.

Sandy here.

I see.

If something comes up, let me know.

Yes, sir!

The visit has been canceled.

They're going to Constants instead.

Holy sh*t!

Now you regret it?

After all we did to get ready!

Excuse me.

What do we do with the carousel?

We'll take a spin!

- Come on!

- I'm not going on it!

Comrade Mayor, I said everybody!

Come on!

Hey, you, grab the coat!

Come on, girl!

What are we waiting for?

Come on, everybody on!

Us too, boss?

- Comrade Mayor!

- He has a bad heart!

Shut up!

Luminosity, let's swing together!

Comrade Mayor! I said everybody,

I mean everybody!

Everybody on!

- Everybody?

- Everybody!

Watch out!

Stop it, Florica!

Comrade Mayor's throwing up!

Florica!

Stop the carousel, Florica!

Where are you, Florica?

Here I am.

Tell them to stop,

Comrade Mayor is dying!

Tell who to stop?

How do you stop this thing?

Press the button!

Who's going to press it?

I don't know.

What are you doing up here, Florica?

You said everybody!

Oh, no! Comrade Mayor has fainted!

Stop the carousel!

Stop the carousel!

Florica! Turn it off!
